Just curious has anyone has heard that our president has?

approved a few billion to be given to Brazil so they can drill off shore. Now my question is, we can't do that here? It appears the major owner of the oil company in Brazil is George Soros, the biggest liberal contributor in history. Does this stink or what? And another thing, when they are up and pumping off shore, the U.S. will be their biggest customer! Again, this stinks! Comments?

Update:

Drill, Baby, Drill

And the Obama administration is going to lend at least $2 billion to a Brazilian state-owned oil company to finance drilling off that country's shores. The Wall Street Journal reports National Security Adviser Jim Jones met with Brazilian officials this month to talk about the loan to Rio de Janeiro-based oil producer, Petrobras.

The editorial board writes: "Americans are right to wonder why Mister Obama is underwriting in Brazil what he won't allow at home."

The deal is also good news for billionaire investor and major Democratic donor George Soros. According to Bloomberg, Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petrobras earlier this year, making that company his investment fund's largest holding, about 22 percent of its portfolio.

We reached out to the White House for comment on the Brazil deal but have not heard back yet.

— FOX News Channel's Lanna Brit contributed to this report.

Update 2:

SAY WHAT YOU WILL BECAUSE IT'S FOX, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN AND MSNBC WOULD NEVER SHOW THIS. THE ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE' POCKET, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

    Yes, I've heard that all day long. It is not the least bit surprising. Do they think Brazil will take better care of the environment than we will. You are right. The White House is in the pocket of George Soros. And we can forget that "Drill, baby, drill." thing. Ain't gonna happen.

    Obama=globalism, not patriotism. He doesn't care about the US being self reliant. He wants the US to be dependent on foreign oil forever so we can all be one big happy global family of sheep ruled by socialist pigs like himself. So instead of allowing drilling in our waters or in Alaska, he's going to send our money to Soros, and then buy oil from Soros.

    No to America and yes to Soros. The man that almost broke the bank of England and has supported Obama from the get go.

    Here's another big oil guy not to many are old enough to remember when he did this.. This person engineered the sale of our Naval Oil Reserves in Elk Hills. Ca. to make his family richer. His family are board members of Occidental Oil and the sale increased the value of his stocks by millions.

    Let's see didn't Bush give away drilling rights to the Chinese just off of our shore? Not to mention the fact that he virtually nearly gave away our port authority to a bunch of Arabs? "Oh, yeah. They're real friendly like, heck, my dad did business with them for years."

    You think it stinks that the US will have a new supply of oil? Why do you hate the US?
